BEGINNERS NEEDLE FELTING - BY TANGLETWINE FIBRE (16yo+)

Learn how to tangle wool fleece using a barbed needle to create sculptures using the "Needle Felting" technique. Louise will teach you the basics and the only limit is your imagination !

You will be guided by our expert teacher to create these super cute felted gnome characters.   No experience required, this is an absolute beginners class, however the lesson will involve the manipulation of fiber using sharp needles.  Protective equipment is used to protect your fingers however having fine motor skills and coordination will be an advantage.
